Our History
In 1964, what is now Next Generation Ministries (NGM) was created to develop programs to assist local churches in their effort to engage, save, empower and train up leaders and disciples focusing on the younger generational segments.
Glenn Richmond held the first event called the Christ Ambassadors convention. It was created along with kid's teams (crusades). Several new programs and events were developed over time. The largest was event was renamed Youth Convention in the 80’s and was hosted by large churches. The event was well supported and quickly grew. It was then moved to small hockey arenas in the early 90’s. Over the years the event has moved from Vernon to Kamloops (Sport Mart Place) 1995-2006 then to Chilliwack Prospera Center in 2007.
During this process the event was opened up to all denominations and to youth as well as young adults and was renamed Historymaker Conference.
In the past two years, Historymaker Conference has been held at the prestigious Langley Events Centre.
